It was before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking over the football, waiting for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Emmbrook and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Berkshire we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

We're able to get out to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your vehicle.

Fuel Removal Emmbrook - Emmbrook Wrong Fuel Assist

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon fishing on the weekend and felt pleased the following morning as I set out to aid a young couple on vacation in Emmbrook. They'd broken down after inserting petrol into their Ford, and the car was around half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I heard to the gal berating her partner for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this problem happens continuously in Berkshire and that it's truly nothing at all to be anxious about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky chap. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my wife would tell me if I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!
